I know, I know,
I replied to the wrong message.
But that's because this mailing list is very inconsistent. Sometimes a reply
is to the original sender. Sometimes a reply is to the whole list. I think
this is very confusing.
Anyway, here was my answer. No replying to the correct post ;-)
Hey here's a post for Joseph again ;-)
<Joseph>
Buy a book about HTML and RTFM
There are mailing lists about HTML too you know
</Joseph>
However, I don't think this post is really OT. Because I have a utility that
I often use in JSP to do this.
Your JSP is generating HTML, and in HTML, to go to a new line, you need <BR>
or <P> tags.
another approach is to put the whole block in <PRE> </PRE> tags.
Here's my code:
public static String lineBreak(String input){
// convert linebreak to <B>
StringBuffer buff = new StringBuffer();
if (input != null){
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(input,"\n",false);
while (st.hasMoreTokens()){
buff.append(st.nextToken());
buff.append("<BR>");
}
}
return buff.toString();
}
